Yeah right! I forgot.

That's why Behind The Mask was such a huge success!!!

If they had released a new album in 1988-89 that wasn’t complete corporate schlock, with a different producer, at least one passable Stevie Nicks song, and stronger contributions from the new guys, it might have worked. That said, an album by folks in their mid-40s was only going to have so much mainstream appeal.

Yeah, they weren’t wearing khakis and had Alicia Silverstone in their videos.

I was thinking more Heart. Their albums were popular in the early 90s.

Because you already know. Their last big hit was in 1990.

btw i'm finally listening to that interview and finding a few things interesting that i did not see mentioned yet in this thread -

Mick talks about FM as the 5. there's no more talk anymore about the new band.

to go back to the Lindsey and Stevie first joining, he mentions something that i haven't heard before from him (maybe others have and i just missed it?) - that Buckingham Nicks songs they were coming in the band with were mostly all co-written. we all get it, but they are credited as such on only one song.

Ah, Mick's revisionist history. This scares me that something IS in the works for Lindsey to come back. Ya know, the Bob Welch years never happened, and neither did the Bekka/Billy Time years. Mick is scum.

Now that he's sold his...."publishing", I wonder what scheme the old dirtbag has up his sleeve?

Revisionist history???

Mick???

LOLOLOL!!!!

That’s exactly why his 1990 account of the legendary phone call exactly matching Keith’s 2012 account means that’s probably how it actually happened.

I heard that too, "beautiful co-writes"
In "Play On" of 2014, Mick speaks about the credit Lindsey deserves for bringing Stevie's writings to life.

Christine and John too in some ways helped those boring demos come to life.
